Mired, (Paperback)

<p>Florida, 1842</p><p>A young family risks everything for the promise of free land in a sweltering, swamp-choked frontier. Phillip Townsend arrives in Micanopy with nothing but his wife, his brother, and a dream only to find the soil unforgiving, the weather unbearable, and something lurking deep within the shadows of the swamp.</p><p>As weeks turn into months, the relentless heat and hardships add pressure to the young farmer's marriage under the weight of broken promises and silent resentments. All the while, the ever-present threat of an unnatural creature looms in the darkness.</p><p>As isolation tightens its grip and the line between survival and surrender blurs, Phillip must confront a truth more terrifying than hunger or hardship: not every predator is what it seems.</p><p></p><p>"<em>Mired </em>is the story of Phillip Townsend, a native of South Carolina who, with his wife and brother, sets out to build a homestead in Micanopy, Florida after the Seminole Wars. The book deftly weaves together historical fiction, love story, and psychological thriller through its portrayal of a steadfast and good-hearted man. What remains to be seen is whether Phillip is a brave man. This monster thriller's historical and geographic details immerse you in Phillip's joys and challenges while its unsettling foreshadowing propels you toward its eye-opening climax."</p><p>-J. English</p><p></p><p>"<em>Mired</em> is a dark tale rich with Florida history that digs into the psychological toll of being immersed in another's disorder. The visceral experience, and the story-within-stories dynamic are captured with clinical precision."</p><p>-N. Wright</p>
